Sick Note for Injury in Ontario
Injuries — from sprains and strains to falls and accidents — can prevent you from performing your work duties. MedLetter provides physician-reviewed documentation for injury-related absences.
When to Seek Emergency Care
If you have a suspected fracture, head injury, deep laceration, or cannot bear weight, visit an emergency department or urgent care centre.
Assessment Information
Injury documentation may require a brief assessment, particularly for extended absences or modified duties requests. Short absences for minor injuries are typically reviewed from your intake form.
FAQ
Can I get a sick note for an injury in Ontario?
Yes. Any injury that prevents you from performing your work duties can be documented by a physician.
Can I get a modified duties letter for an injury?
Yes. If you can work with restrictions, a physician can provide documentation specifying functional limitations without disclosing your specific injury.
What about workplace injuries?
Workplace injuries may be covered under WSIB. MedLetter can provide initial documentation, but ongoing workplace injury claims should go through WSIB processes.
